US EditionJudge who drew calls for impeachment over DOGE ruling assigned to Maxwell transcript case
MANHATTAN, NEW YORK, JUL 21 – Judge Paul Engelmayer will consider the Justice Department's request to release redacted grand jury transcripts related to Ghislaine Maxwell's sex-trafficking case amid public and political pressure.
- Manhattan Judge Paul Engelmayer, previously targeted for impeachment over a February ruling blocking DOGE's Treasury access, was assigned Monday to decide on releasing grand jury transcripts in Ghislaine Maxwell's sex-trafficking case.
- This assignment follows the Justice Department's Friday petition, made at President Trump's request, to release the transcripts relating to Jeffrey Epstein's 2019 federal sex-trafficking case and Maxwell's indictment.
- Judge Engelmayer stated Tuesday he will rule expeditiously after receiving submissions from Epstein's representatives and victims by August 5, but needs more information to clarify what should be unsealed.
- On July 17, Trump posted on Truth Social that he had instructed then-Attorney General Pam Bondi, pending court approval, to provide any relevant grand jury records, citing the excessive media attention surrounding Epstein’s death and ongoing conspiracy theories.
- Judicial impeachments remain rare and usually address serious misconduct rather than individual rulings, suggesting Engelmayer's role in Maxwell's case signals heightened attention amid political pressures and public demands for transparency.
